Chapter 955: Temptation
Empress Wei's eyes were questioning.
While she was surprised, Luo Qingluan was also suspicious.
The two of them looked at each other in the air, Luo Qingluan's eyes were impartial, without any weakness of heart and her familiar gaze, which made Queen Wei's heart sigh, and she realized that there were some things to look away first, and she resumed the demeanor that the queen should have, and spoke in a deep voice.
"What's your name?"
"Back to the queen's mother, the people's daughter's name is Lin Qinglan."
"Lin Qinglan, Lin Qinglan...... It's a nice name. Muttering the three words Lin Qinglan, Lin Qinglan Luo Qingluan, Empress Wei's expression froze for a moment.
Luo Qingluan didn't speak, just pursed the corners of his lips with a tepid smile on his face, and looked at Empress Wei quietly.
Hong'er helped Empress Wei sit down, Empress Wei pointed to the position next to her and asked Luo Qingluan to sit down, and immediately a maidservant girl served tea.
"Where is Miss Lin from?" Empress Wei carefully observed Luo Qingluan's movements of drinking tea, and found that the movements were completely different from before.
"Back to the queen's mother, the folk girl is from a small place in the Southern Wei Dynasty." She put the tea down.
Empress Wei paused with the tea, squinting her eyes.
Southern Wei?
How could she be from the Southern Wei Dynasty?
Empress Wei asked quietly: "This is the first time I've seen a woman next to Xuan'er in this palace, Miss Lin, how did you and Xuan'er meet?" How long have you been in the Prince's Mansion? ”
After a few questions, Luo Qingluan didn't think there was anything at first, but now he felt weird and secretly alert.
The queen mother gave her a strange feeling.
"Queen Mother, it is a coincidence that the people and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know each other, the people are homeless, His Royal Highness the Prince feels that the people are pitiful, and the people have the honor to live in the Prince's Mansion." Luo Qingluan didn't say anything about her amnesia, nor did she say that she was the daughter of a criminal minister, she could see that Empress Wei was testing herself.
But she vaguely felt that Empress Wei didn't just want to test herself.
"Do you have any other relatives at home?" Empress Wei smiled gently, but there was deep meaning in her eyes.
Luo Qingluan's reaction looked very strange to her. Is it pretending not to know her or really not knowing her? Doubts deepened. His heart suddenly tightened, and Luo Qingluan then spoke unhurriedly: "No." ”
She is the daughter of a criminal minister, and the people in her family are long dead.
The two came and went, testing each other, and Luo Qingluan cautiously tested whether Empress Wei recognized her. Empress Wei was also cautious and tentatively trying to confirm Luo Qingluan's identity.
Every time Queen Wei asked a question, Luo Qingluan answered it very well, so that she couldn't find the place to doubt, and her tone and attitude were neither humble nor arrogant, which made Queen Wei like it very much.
In this palace, I have seen a lot of flattering and pampered and arrogant people, and people like Luo Qingluan who are neither humble nor arrogant are what she likes very much, and there are more words, and the two gradually get acquainted.
Although she likes her neither humble nor arrogant temperament, Empress Wei is still skeptical of her face, which is exactly the same as that of Luo Qingluan, the princess of Chu.
She doesn't believe in such a coincidence! If the woman in front of her was the princess of Chu, and she did not hear the news of the disappearance of the princess of Chu, she temporarily put all her thoughts down, and Empress Wei no longer tempted.
She'll find it all out.
Prince's Mansion.
Lin Yixuan was running errands outside, and the secret guard told him about Luo Qingluan being summoned into the palace by Empress Wei, his face changed suddenly, and he was anxious that the matter was not finished yet, and he didn't care about handing it over directly to the trusted subordinates around him, and hurried to Fengqi Palace.
Before he arrived at Fengqi Palace, he saw Gonggong Lin leading Luo Qingluan outward, and he immediately stepped forward.
"Qinglan." called Luo Qingluan, Lin Yixuan looked her up and down, paid attention to her face, and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't find anything wrong, it seems that the queen mother didn't embarrass her.
"The old slave has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Lin Gonggong was blessed. Lin Yixuan waved his hand and asked softly in Luo Qingluan's ear.
"Qinglan, did the queen mother find anything?"
Luo Qingluan frowned lightly and shook his head.
She didn't know if Empress Wei had discovered anything, after all, Empress Wei's temptation of her made her suspicious. Putting her mind down, she didn't want to tell Lin Yixuan.
Lin Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the queen mother would be suspicious if she saw Qingluan's face, looking at Qingluan's expression, the queen mother did not embarrass her.
"Qinglan, I'll go see the queen mother."
"Father-in-law Lin, send Qinglan back to the Prince's Mansion."
Father-in-law Lin nodded with a smile and looked at Luo Qingluan: "Miss Lin, please."
"Yixuan, I'll just go back by myself. Don't bother Grandpa Lin. ”
Luo Qingluan glanced at Gonggong Lin and refused.
Gonggong Lin is the person next to Empress Wei, although Empress Wei did not do anything to her today, she has not let down her vigilance against Empress Wei.
Lin Yixuan frowned.
It's not appropriate to let Qingluan follow him to see the queen mother again, Gonggong Lin is the person next to the queen mother and is loyal to the queen mother.
"Okay, then be careful."
Luo Qingluan nodded, took small steps, the steps on his head swayed with the steps, and his body was like a willow, until he couldn't see her figure Lin Yixuan turned around and entered Fengwu Palace.
Empress Wei sat on the stool, her brows furrowed and her face solemn.
Luo Qingluan's face is too similar to Princess Chu, if it weren't for the great change in the momentum and personality of the two, she would be sure that Luo Qingluan is the princess of Chu.
While he was meditating, he heard a deep voice.
"Mother."
"Xuan'er." Empress Wei stood up and went to his side, looking him up and down with a smile on her face.
But then he thought of something, and his expression turned cold: "This palace invited Miss Lin to come and sit, what's the matter, are you worried?"
As soon as Luo Qingluan left, he came to Fengqi Palace.
"The queen mother thinks about it a lot, and the son naturally knows that the queen mother will not embarrass Qinglan, Qinglan is gentle and generous, and the queen mother will definitely like it." Lin Yixuan smiled gently.
He is filial to Empress Wei, and the relationship between mother and son is good.
"Xuan'er, is Miss Lin the princess of Chu?" Seeing that when he mentioned Luo Qingluan, the tenderness and affection in his eyes made her look change, and she directly picked it out.
"Queen Mother, Qinglan is not the princess of Chu, how could the princess of Chu appear next to her son? Qinglan's surname is Lin, the two are just similar in appearance, don't be mistaken, Qinglan and Princess Chu have completely different personalities. Lin Yixuan thought about what he would say to Empress Wei on the way over.
When the queen mother actually saw Qingluan, she would definitely doubt her identity.
"Miss Lin is really not the princess of Chu? Nothing to do with Princess Chu? Empress Wei's eyebrows were still twisted, looking at Lin Yixuan's expression unchanged, there was no weakness in her eyes, her suspicions were not eliminated, but a little more dignified.
Miss Lin's face similar to that of Princess Chu, I believe no one does not doubt it.
If she is really the princess of Chu and appears next to Xuan'er again, the king of Chu will definitely not give up, and the two countries will be involved at that time.
Disaster in disguise. Empress Wei would never allow Lin Yixuan to appear around a woman who made him mess up.
"Queen Mother, Qinglan has nothing to do with Princess Chu. Her name is Lin Qinglan, not Princess Chu. The voice was cold and determined, and the expression was indifferent.
Lin Yixuan's palms were closed, and his eyes were dark.
Qingluan will be Qinglan in the future, and Qinglan only belongs to him!
Empress Wei was still not at ease, thinking of when she saw Princess Chu a few months ago, Lin Yixuan's special treatment of Princess Chu made her can't help but have an idea in her heart.
Will Xuan'er like Princess Chu? After all, Princess Chu was born exquisitely and beautifully, her momentum was cold, and she was knowledgeable!
As the old saying goes, a fair lady and a gentleman are good.
Thinking of this, Empress Wei's expression turned grim, and she asked solemnly: "Xuan'er, you and the queen mother are honest, do you like Princess Chu?" So I found a woman similar to her to accompany me. ”
Lin Yixuan didn't expect Empress Wei to suddenly ask like this, so he didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head slightly.
His silence seemed to Empress Wei to be acquiescence, her voice suddenly became serious, and her expression was cold: "Xuan'er, as the crown prince of Southern Wei, you should understand what the identity of Princess Chu is, if you let the King of Chu know your thoughts about Princess Chu, I am afraid it will bring disaster to Southern Wei, and the situation between the two countries will be broken."
Lin Yixuan frowned, looked at Empress Wei's staring face, looked stern, and pursed her lips.
"Queen Mother, Qinglan is not the princess of Chu, and her son, as the crown prince of the Southern Wei Dynasty, knows the proportions, and please rest assured. Erchen is not afraid of King Chu, I like Miss Lin and want to marry her as the crown princess. ”
Lin Yixuan's voice was cold, and when he said the word King of Chu, his eyebrows were full of anger.
No one can snatch Qingluan away from him!
"Nope." Empress Wei didn't want to directly refuse to object. The title of Luo Qingluan has also changed from Miss Lin to Lin Qinglan.
"Lin Qinglan's lowly status is not worthy of being the crown princess at all, if you really like her, you can take her as a concubine, but the position of the crown princess is definitely not good!"
She likes Luo Qingluan's humble and unscrupulous temperament, but she has no background and power behind her, and she must not be the crown princess!
"Queen Mother, the sons must marry Qinglan as the crown princess, Qinglan can't be a concubine."
Lin Yixuan's expression froze, and he looked at Empress Wei seriously.
"Xuan'er, the queen mother of the crown princess has been selected for you, I think the second lady of Prime Minister Zuo's family is good, she is knowledgeable, and Prime Minister Zuo also expressed his attitude."
Prime Minister Zuo is a veteran of the court and a trusted courtier of the emperor.
The speed of change above the court is like the weather, cloudy and uncertain. Although Prime Minister Zuo clearly stated that he was on the side of the prince, he did not guarantee that he would not regret it tomorrow, and the situation in the court changed rapidly.
But if Xuan'er marries Prime Minister Zuo's daughter, Prime Minister Zuo and the prince are the ones who are tied to a rope.
Lin Yixuan's face turned cold, looked at Empress Wei, and completely put away the smile on his face: "Queen Mother, the son-in-law expressed his heart to you today, and he is also showing the choice of the son-in-law." ”
"In this life, if the son-in-law is the crown prince, the position of the princess must be Qinglan's, and if the son-in-law is the emperor, the queen's position must belong to Qinglan."
"She doesn't have any power background, and this palace doesn't allow it. You raise her in the prince's mansion, take her as a concubine and spoil her alone, the position of the crown princess is absolutely not good, the court is surging, Xuan'er, you have to focus on the overall situation. ”
"Marry the second Miss Zuo Prime Minister, and the power of the Zuo Prime Minister will be used by you."
Empress Wei had a coldness in her eyes, and she had lost her usual kindness and gentleness.
In this palace, everyone who is alive is trying to climb up!
